Dating apps don't want you to find love. 💘
If you find a partner, you delete the app. They lose a customer. Their goal is to keep you Single but Hopeful.
It’s not a matchmaker; it’s a slot machine. They optimize for Retention, not Resolution.

LinkedIn isn't a social network. It's a self-updating CRM. 🤝
Microsoft convinced 1 billion people to do their data entry for free. We update our own titles and skills because of "Personal Branding."
We keep the inventory fresh; they sell the access to Recruiters. We are the unpaid maintenance crew

Rolex is owned by a private charity, not a corporation. ⌚
They have no shareholders. This allows them to do something no public company can do: Ignore demand.
They intentionally starve the market to keep the "waitlist" alive. It’s not a watch; it’s a masterclass in control.

Commercial gyms don't want you to work out. 🏋️♂️
They oversell their capacity by 2000%. If every one showed up, they would go bankrupt.
Their business model relies on "Ghost Members" people who pay monthly out of guilt. They aren't selling fitness; they are selling the hope of fitness.

Stop thinking Sony profits from consoles. 🎮
They sell hardware at a loss just to lock you in. The real money? The 30% cut on every game and subscription.
It's the "razor and blades" model. Console = Razor. Games = Blades.

IKEA isn't a furniture store. It's a logistics company. 📦
The "Flat Pack" isn't for you. It's to stop them from shipping "air." By making the boxes flat, they fit 6x more product in a truck.
Then, they outsource the assembly labor to you. You are effectively an unpaid factory worker for IKEA.

PVR isn't a cinema chain.
Ticket sales are split with producers and distributors (low profit). Snack sales are kept 100% by the theater (massive profit).
The movie is just the "Customer Acquisition" strategy to get you into the snack bar. That ₹600 popcorn is the only reason the theater exists.

Red Bull isn't a drink company. It's a media empire. 🏎️
They outsource the manufacturing (Rauch) and logistics. They keep the marketing and content.
They don't buy ad space. They create the events (F1, Air Race) that others pay to sponsor.
The drink is just the funding mechanism for the show.

Stop believing in "free" apps. 💸
We aren't the customers of Google or Meta. We are the raw material.
The trade: We give attention and data. The payoff: They sell "certainty" to advertisers.
In the digital economy, if you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product being sold.

Stop looking at Amazon as just an online store. 📦
The mistake? Confusing Volume with Value.
Retail fights a "War of Atoms" (Low Margin). AWS rules the "Empire of Bits" (High Profit).
💡 My Take: Amazon isn't a shop. It's a tech monopoly conquering logistics.
Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity.

Remember the meltdown when Netflix killed password sharing? Everyone swore they'd cancel.
Today? Record profits.
They called our bluff. They knew the product was a utility, not a luxury.
💡 My take: Customer sentiment (what we say) rarely matches customer behavior (what we pay).

Starbucks is at war with itself. ☕️
The App wants speed. The Store wants "vibe."
With ~70% mobile orders, the barista is now a factory worker. Efficiency is up, but the brand soul is bleeding.
💡 Insight: Don't optimize operations if you're killing your value prop.

Nike’s DTC strategy backfired. 📉
They dumped retailers to keep margin but lost the #1 place for product discovery. Visibility tanked.
Now they're crawling back to wholesale.
💡 Insight: The middleman isn't a cost. It's a marketing channel.
